Executive Editor Axel Alonso gives the Marvel Hotline a ring this week to talk about reuniting Frank Castle with some old friends and one seemingly unkillable foe in the weekly PUNISHER WAR ZONE limited series!
It's been eight years since writer Garth Ennis and artist Steve Dillon teamed up to reignite the Punisher franchise with their 12-part "Welcome Back, Frank" opus, which saw, among other things, ol' Skull Chest run up against an ornery mafia matriarch named Ma Gnucci who didn't seem to know quite when to play dead. In the new PUNISHER WAR ZONE limited series, Ma has seemingly returned once more to make Frank's life hell!
The first three issues of the weekly PUNISHER WAR ZONE can be found on sale now, with #4 hitting stores this Friday, January 2, 2009.

In which I review Punisher War Zone on opening day. It is very much liek the MAX series with a little of the Marvel Knights and War Zone stuff thrown in.
The one thing I forgot to mention in the vid is that Ray Stevenson does a great job. I was sceptical up until seeing the film of him based soley on looks. But there's scenes where it may as well been one of Bradstreets covers.
If anyone cares I'd like to see the next film as an adaptation combining the Barracuda and The Slavers story arcs.
Oh and I'm totally for Ray Stephenson as director for a second film. Since Lexi said she doesn't want to do the next one and she'd like to see Ray do it.

Excerpt
...John Travolta, as the #1 bad guy, was a solid fit. Frank Castle and a few of his helpful friends in a scene from Punisher: War Zone. In War Zone, on the other hand, Ray Stevenson is a clunky and dull Punisher, who is perfectly suited portraying the character...

From the official soundtrack OST of the upcoming film by Marvel/Lionsgate, Punisher - War Zone.
"Waging his one-man war on the world of organized crime, ruthless vigilante-hero Frank Castle sets his sights on overeager mob boss Billy Russoti. After Russoti is left horribly disfigured by Castle, he sets out for vengeance under his new alias: Jigsaw. With the "Punisher Task Force" hot on his trail and the FBI unable to take Jigsaw in, Frank must stand up to the formidable army that Jigsaw has recruited before more of his evil deeds go unpunished."

FAQ:
Is this movie based on a novel?
No. Punisher: War Zone is based on a Marvel comics character. The Punisher aka Frank Castle first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #129 (Feb. 1974) and was created by writer Gerry Conway and artists John Romita, Sr. and Ross Andru. Since then, he has appeared in several monthly publications, including The Punisher War Journal, The Punisher War Zone, and The Punisher Armory, as well as in The Punisher (1989) and The Punisher (2004). Punisher: War Zone was written by screenwriters Nick Santora, Matt Holloway, and Arthur Marcum.
Is "Punisher: War Zone" a sequel to "The Punisher"?
It´s not a retelling of the origin but begins like the MAX line of the comic - Frank Castle has already been operating as the Punisher for years. The original story will be told in flashback sequences, and it is the origin from the original comic which will be referenced. Punisher's current MAX line of comics is arguably it's most successful run to date.
Why isn't Thomas Jane involved?
Tom Jane walked out on the then in-development Punisher sequel in the spring of 2007, citing creative differences. Rumor has it that Marvel wanted the movie to be closer to the MAX line of the comic, something which was fine with LGF, as long as the Punisher got to keep some redeeming features. On the other hand, Jane wanted the movie to be closer to Taxi Driver, and allegedly wanted to develop Frank Castle in the same direction as Travis Bickle, taking the movie even further away from the comic. (Jane has officially stated that the similarity to Taxi Driver was the main reason he accepted the role in the first place and that he was never a fan of the Punisher comic.) Another rumor has it that Jane wanted more money than LGF was willing to pay in order to keep him. When both Marvel and LGF refused to give in to his demands, Jane walked out on the movie.
Are they still using the same script which caused Tom Jane to leave?
No. Jane's departure caused a rethink of the movie, and the entire project went through a major overhaul. Everything they had developed thus far was scrapped and, for all intents and purposes, production started anew. Marvel, LGF and the director they hired shortly after Jane's departure found a vision that all involved parties could agree upon and, since then. production moved forward in one direction. Director Lexi Alexander wrote a new script from page one with only a passing resemblance to previous drafts. Her script has since been rewritten and further polished by Iron Man screenwriters Art Marcum and Matt Holloway. As such, the script currently being used is NOT the one which caused Jane to leave the movie. Reviews of early drafts of the current script have been highly favourable.
Will it stay true to the comics?
Punisher: War Zone aims to be as similar to the comic as possible, and the recent MAX run of the comic is the single greatest source of inspiration. The main characters are mostly Garth Ennis era. However, Jigsaw, Microchip and Detective Soap are also important roles in the movie, which suggests that the movie is inspired by old school comics as well - and the story takes place in New York.
A Woman is directing this? Really?
Punisher: War Zone is directed by up-and-coming Oscar nominated, female director Lexi Alexander. Alexander's first feature film Green Street Hooligans demonstrates she has all the skills necessary to direct a Punisher movie, both in terms of storytelling, character development and sheer brutality. Many fans of the previous movies often express concern that Alexander is too young and inexperienced to properly direct a Punisher movie, while forgetting that both previous directors, Goldblatt and Hensleigh, came from different fields entirely and had no prior directing experience at all. (Incidentally, none of them have to this date directed another theatrically released feature again). In terms of directorial qualifications, Lexi Alexander is, as such, the first trained and accomplished director ever to helm a Punisher movie.

"And Now Productions Presents..." I took the original Red band trailer and changed the song.I also added the movie posters at the end of the video. It still has the original "Days of Revenge" by Ramallah intro. However, I added the song "Freedom" by Rage against the Machine. I hope you enjoy it. Check my other videos in my channel for an exclusive interview with Ray Stevenson on his take as the Punisher, and a video with funny clips and pictures. I also have many other projects I am working on and plan on putting them up in all do time.
